Dunn, Bruce

Bruce Dunn is the Nippon Sheet Glass Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at UCLA. A continuing theme in his research is the use of sol-gel chemistry in the synthesis of inorganic and organic/inorganic hybrid materials, and the characterization of their electrical, optical, biological and electrochemical properties. His current research focuses on electrochemical energy storage and among his recent accomplishments are the development of three-dimensional battery architectures and creating pseudocapacitive materials for high rate energy storage. Among the honors he has received are a Fulbright research fellowship, the Orton Lectureship from the American Ceramic Society, named to the Web of Science list of Highly Cited Researchers, awards from the Department of Energy for outstanding research in materials science, invited professorships in France, Japan and Singapore, and recently received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Rutgers University. He is a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society, the Materials Research Society and an elected member of the World Academy of Ceramics. In addition to serving on the Board of Reviewing Editors at Science, he is a member of several editorial boards including Advanced Energy Materials, Solid State Ionics, Advanced Electronic Materials, and Journal of the American Ceramic Society
